You're right, Bill - but the great thing is, I would say that almost
all of the handful of TV directors and creatives I know got into it
originally (whatever their values now about success=audience) because
they wanted to create, and be as good as they can be at creating
challenging
That thing that's differnet, is it's it's communications.
Just because I can only speak to one person on the phone does that mean
phones suck.
The value is podcasting, and video sharing is communications... it's in
staying on touch with people you know.
The example I always give is
Mike M. is correct that YT has only landed a first punch. And it may
be a big showy punch with no power behind it. The YT statistics
appear to be cooked in at least a couple of ways. In navigating
around YT one often manages to watch videos twice by accident by
going back in the navigation.
Ha! Great Rant!
That was well said David. I can tell by the way it reads that was written
stream of conscious by someone with something to say. I love it. I think I'm
going to reblog you if you don't mind.
My favorite points are as follows.

Regarding Dave's comment on the bubbling up of YouTube videos - the
phenomenon reminds me of the lessons in a behavioral finance class I'm
currently taking at Berkeley. The psychology goes as follows, That
person is buying, so they must know something that I don't.

I agree. I just started researching
Great discussion!
On the statistics, how much of the YouTube and MySpace numbers is
double dipping? YouTube traffic only started taking off as MySpace
members started to embed their videos in their MySpace pages a year

I was just having dinner with someone from a big TV company who was
talking about how unimpressed management are by YouTube viewing
figures. They just aren't interested in holding a few thousand, or
at best a million or so, people for a few seconds at a time, with
